No reason why you could not go this route. I Might Instead suggest that you have your player go this route. Find Familiar 1st-level conjuration (ritual). From this spell they can then cast Shocking grasp through it.
When you cast a spell with a range of touch,
your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the
spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and
it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast
it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack
modifier for the roll.
